Iranians are commemorating the 37th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution with rallies across the country.

Demonstrations are taking place on February 11 in Tehran and other cities and towns, with many participants chanting slogans against the United States and Israel.

Speaking to crowds in Tehran's Azadi Square, President Hassan Rohani urged Iran's political factions to seek consensus, after a constitutional watchdog disqualified thousands of moderate candidates from running in the February 26 elections to both parliament and to a top clerical body, the Assembly of Experts.
